WILLIAM GREENWELL, D.C.L., F.R.S., F.S.A. 

 1820-1918. 



The name of ' Canon Greenwell ' has been almost a household 

 word among naturalists and antiquaries in the north of England 

 for more than half a century, and by his writings and collections 



he was known much further afield. His death occurred 

 towards the end of January, when he was in his 98th year. 

 He was perhaps best known by his ' British Barrows,' a 

 volume published in 1877, when the craze for ' barrow-digging ' 

 was at its height. The volume contained particulars of the 

 excavation of 234 mounds, mostly in the north of England. 

 In 1890 he contributed an account of other 61 barrows to 

 ArchcBologia, and in the same journal for 1906 he wrote' a 

 valuable paper on ' Early Iron Age Burials in Yorkshire,'., ,
